Gamechanger Plus Pedal II

Gamechanger Plus Pedal II adds piano-style sustain to any source: guitar, voice, wind, acoustic and string instruments. The new Spectral Sampling engine analyses the signal at spectral level rather than simply looping a fragment.

Layers captured without lifting your foot

On the first version of the pedal every new layer required a deliberate foot movement. Auto Layer Catch detects new note events on its own, filters out noise and stacks them, so your foot can stay on the pedal for a whole phrase. The CATCH switch decides what enters the pool: every note, only the selected number of layers, or single notes added one at a time. The LAYERS knob sets anywhere from 1 to 10 layers, or Infinite mode.

The effects loop in three places at once

A three-position switch moves external effects ahead of the pedal engine, inside the loop, or after the whole unit, without repatching a cable. A delay before the pedal builds rhythmic layers, inside the loop it treats only the sustained notes, and after the pedal it adds space to everything. A combo XLR and jack input with a studio-grade mic preamp takes a microphone directly, and a Kill Dry switch leaves only the layers at the output.
